As usual with Vevor, ordering was fine with fast and free shipping!
I look at all these Chinese machine tools as kits which have to be disassembled, cleaned, and reworked, then you probably have something that you can work with. This was no exception. Cleaned out all the grit and schwarf then reassembled. Once reassembled, there is .015" backlash which cannot be adjusted out without locking the whole thing up. I suspect alot of the backlash is because there is .009" of slop with the handle input shaft and its bearing sleeve. The output shaft thread protector would only thread half way, so the internal threads had to be recut. Indexing plates were unmarked and needed to be stamped with their correct number of holes.
Chuck is OK with .003" runout. Disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly went fine. Body is not hardened, jaws and internal gears are.
Overall, it is not bad for the price. Would have been nice to reduce the backlash more but beggars can't be choosers.
